Directions and Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Cook until it is beautifully browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. After cooking, remove the sausage from the skillet and drain any excess fat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Using the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture and scramble it over medium heat. Continue to cook until the eggs are fluffy and fully set.
- Add the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir gently until the cheese melts and everything is perfectly combined, creating a rich and creamy filling.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface, ready to be filled.
- Spoon equal portions of the sausage, egg, and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla, making sure not to overfill!
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to create a secure roll-up.
- Heat the skillet again over medium heat and place the roll-ups seam side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn a gorgeous golden brown on all sides.
- Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and allow them to cool for about a minute before slicing them in half.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy them as is!
